Dissecting the RCA of Alerting - Reliability, Correlations, Actionability.

Modern monitoring systems depend heavily on ‘Alerting’ to reduce the Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) faulty systems. But, alerting hasn’t evolved to meet the demands of modern architectures. We’re changing that with Alert Studio.

You have probably heard of OpenTelemetry in the context of traces. But did you know OpenTelemetry also supports metrics with a comprehensive, forward-looking data model and SDKs? When it comes to metrics, one thinks of Prometheus, but Otel metrics provide exciting ideas such as cumulative deltas, exponential histograms, and more! This talk will demystify everything about Otel Metrics, from the data model to APIs to how to get started. We will cover the differences between Otel Metrics and Prometheus and explain the reasons why people get excited about using Otel Metrics.

The Indian Premier League is a unique sporting event for a dozen reasons. But for engineers in India, it’s one of a kind. Very few companies can boast of managing 30+ million concurrent users. Every year, this number grows. Last year, we witnessed ~60 million concurrent users. And things get bigger and larger every year.

Predicting the future is hard, especially with metrics-based monitoring systems, because metrics cardinality can snowball. This is important because it affects query performance adversely. Having visibility into what’s happening now and workflows to manage cardinality is crucial. Because the answers depend on the quality of questions, a system allows you to ask. The questions one may have is —

We have Carson Anderson, Sr. DevOps Engineer at Weave HQ, talking about how they implemented SLOs using Prometheus, what went wrong, and how they fixed it. This talk was given at "Last9 of Reliability" Discord community on 13th December. Talk Description: First thing's first: Yes, it really did take us 5 tries to implement our SLOs with Prometheus. While that may seem embarrassing, we are very happy to be able to share our SLO journey so that we can hopefully help you avoid the same mistakes.
